Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Lumberton, TX

It can be difficult to ask for help as we may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable being vulnerable. Asking for help requires strength and courage and may be a journey through both darkness and light. It is important to trust the process, sit with our uncomfortable feelings, and accept our emotions for what they are. Vulnerability, shame, and fear may make it difficult to share, but know this is normal as we navigate change. There is a lot to be learned from our dark times, and, as a therapist, I hope to be along side you in your journey of growth. Let's connect and unpack what you're struggling with.

Trauma has a way of taking over every aspect of your life, from your day-to-day interactions with others to the quiet moments alone. Maybe it creeps up in your love life and tells you, that you are broken and unworthy of healthy love. Perhaps it has gotten in the way of your parenting or work and feels like a ton of bricks in a backpack that you can’t seem to put down. Either way, trauma wounds, like grief, anxiety, and depression get in the way of living your life at its fullest potential. They cloud your values and impact your access to peace, pleasure, and pain-free life. What would it look like to unpack this backpack?

If you’re reading this, it likely means that you’ve decided to seek therapy or are searching for a new counselor.

The pit in your stomach as you walk into the office. You meant to leave early, but you are running late, again. Hopefully the boss doesn’t notice. You have a to do list, that you left “somewhere around here”. At home, there is the bill pile next to the mail pile, but they disappear if you can’t see them. You have the best of intentions, but the missed appointments and missed deadlines are piling up. You tried one planner system, then another, but nothing ever seems to really change. The worst is this feeling that you are not living up to who you want to be… and it is hard to picture how to make this any better.

I am Dr. Patricia Shaw, a licensed therapist. I have over 28 years experience teaching, supervising, and practicing evidenced-based approaches for those experiencing issues with addiction, trauma. depression, relationships, and a wide variety of other life challenges. I am licensed in Texas with over 28 years of professional work experience. I typically work with clients experiencing challenges with stress and anxiety, sexual identity, coping with addictions, marital and relationship issues, & trauma and abuse.

No matter where you are in your journey, I'm here to create a safe space where you can feel understood, supported, and heard. I embrace diverse backgrounds, helping those dealing with victimization, trauma, work stress, life changes, mental health challenges, risky behaviors, attachment issues, dissociation and children/teenagers who may be re-enacting sexual behaviors. I have received professional training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Problem Sexual Behavior Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (PSB-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

My life's purpose is to hold space for trauma healing. I have specialized training in gold-standard treatments for trauma, and I have experience working with combat Veterans, first responders, and survivors of childhood abuse, rape, and domestic violence. Through these experiences, I have learned that humans are designed to heal from trauma, but sometimes we may feel unsure of where to start or feel stuck in the process. I am here to help you make sense of how trauma impacts your worldview, physical body, and relationships. It would be my honor to walk beside you as you reconnect with your intuitive ability to heal.

As a survivor of childhood sexual assault, physical and mental abuse, and rape, I understand how important it is to feel safe in your environment, which is why I offer Mobile Counseling. I come to you, in an environment of your choosing, because unless you feel safe and comfortable, your healing will not progress the way you need it to. I customize each treatment plan according to your needs, and adjust accordingly. I do not believe in cookie cutter counseling/therapy, as rape and violence is not cookie cutter. If you are ready to stop surviving your life and start living your life, then I am the counselor for you.

As I/we embark on an integrated approach unique to you, building a safe and trusting relationship is one of the most important pillars to setting realistic and attainable goals that foster & promote motivation towards change and practical sustainability.

If your struggle with anxiety, trauma, adult ADHD, or health-related concerns is overwhelming and taking a toll on your life, then it may be time for evidence-based assessment and psychotherapy.
